United are deeply disappointed by Ronaldo's extraordinary attack on Ten Hag and the club. In an interview with Piers Morgan, the striker says he has "no respect" for the manager while accusing the club of betraying him and trying to force him out. Ten Hag and his players were preparing to fly back from London after their last-gasp 2-1 win at Fulham when word reached the club, via Ronaldo's camp, that the player had given an explosive interview. United opted not to comment on Sunday night, eager not to distract from a morale-boosting victory that they felt underlined the spirit and togetherness in the squad. But discussions will gather pace on Monday as Ten Hag, chief executive Richard Arnold and football director John Murtough plot the best course, in conjunction with co-chairman and owner Joel Glazer. Ronaldo has been a peripheral figure under Ten Hag, starting just four of 14 Premier League matches, but there will be pressure on Ten Hag to ensure the five-times World Player of the Year never represents the club again. Many fans have reacted angrily to Ronaldo's attack, particularly his comments about Ten Hag, and his remarks come only weeks after he refused to come on as a substitute in the 2-0 win over Spurs at Old Trafford, another example of a memorable victory being overshadowed by the 37-year-old's actions. United will also be under pressure to take a hardline stance given some of the allegations levelled at the club by Ronaldo. There is huge respect in the United dressing room for what Ronaldo has achieved in the game but his behaviour in recent weeks in particular is said to have disappointed a number of players.
